It will handle wind better than a trainer because of the wing type and because its a low wing. As far as landing, most land slower than a trainer and if you don't slow it down like a trainer it will just keep cruising along without losing altitude, and if there is a breeze, the plane will stop and hover!! If the 4* wants to come in fast, then I would be re-checking the cg balance. I think the plane actually makes a better trainer than a 2nd type sport plane. Keep the throws reasonable and I don't see why someone can't learn to fly on a 4*. [8D]
Well I agree that it is easier to handle wind with the fourstar, I am just experiencing it actually... But I wasn't able to land it as slow as my trainer so far.
What way should I move the cg in order to achieve that?
As said, mine keeps cruising along without losing altitude, and i am forced to lower it with stick movement and then sometimes I hit hard
